Mother's Day Treats

-


After a busy weekend, I came home yesterday to a lovely surprise. My youngest had been busy too!




A lovely poster for me!


and treats too!


 My favourite chocolates!


and pretty bracelets from my eldest.



Then visits by sons,


 who gave me beautiful things


and yummy homemade cakes.


 I hope yours was a good day too! :)

It's Monday morning now, sunny but really cold! 
My painting awaits my finishing touches so I shall see you again soon.x
